Popis: | An ideal bone substitute requires not only high bioactivity but also sufficient mechanical performance, which is however inaccessible due to the lack of rational structure and composition design. Here, bioactive glass (BG)/hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyethylene (PE) composites with bone-like structure were prepared via a structuring injection molding. The strong and reciprocating shear field offered by the modified injection molding induced plenty of interlocked shish kebabs, mimicking the aligned collagen fibers in the natural bone. Such a bone-like structure enhanced the strength and toughness of the BG/HA/PE composites simultaneously, compensating the mechanical loss caused by the presence of BG. In vitro cell culture assays demonstrated that the combination of BG and HA significantly promoted cell attachment, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity compared to the use of HA alone. It was attributed to upregulated expression of β-catenin stimulated by BG. The mineralization in simulated body fluid r... |
